+# Sharing
+One of the great benefits of flakes is the ability to easily share your user
+defined packages, modules and other nix expressions without having to merge
+anything upstream. In that spirit, everything defined in this flake is usable
+from other flakes. So even if you don't want to use this project as a template,
+you can still pull in any useful modules, packages or profiles defined here.

+From the command line:
+```sh
+# to see what this flake exports
+nix flake show "github:nrdxp/nixflk"
+
+# run an app
+nix run "github:nrdxp/nixflk#someApp"
+
+# start a dev shell for a given derivation
